• Recording asset information such as location, condition, specifications, installation dates and maintenance history using specialist software.
• Ensuring asset registration processes comply with industry standards, regulatory requirements and internal protocols.
• Representing United Utilities at cross‑functional meetings with contractors and business leads to ensure timely and accurate asset registration.
• Coordinating the deregistration of assets at end‑of‑life, ensuring records and documentation are updated.
• Collaborating with engineering, operations and regulatory teams to align asset management activities with best practice.
• Conducting regular audits and quality checks to verify data accuracy, completeness and consistency.
• Implementing corrective actions to address discrepancies or data errors.
• Staying up to date with emerging technologies, trends and best practices to support continuous improvement of ARDR processes.

What we’re looking for

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret technical data and generate meaningful insights.
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy in data entry and documentation.
• Ideally educated to Degree/HND level or with suitable industry experience.
• Strong communication, influencing and negotiation skills to engage a wide range of stakeholders.
• Good technical knowledge of United Utilities assets and processes.
• Ability to prioritise tasks and manage finite resources to meet business objectives.
